I've been a stay-at-home mom for the past 8 years. We didn't get the flu shot. Each of us has had the flu at least once in the past 8 years, but with a lot of diligence, it never spread (DH had the h1n1 the year it was first around - we quarantined him to the finished basement!). No one has a compromised immune system and we never had complications from the flu (DD & I have both had bouts of bad pneumonia, but never with the flu). This year, I'm back to teaching and we're going (flying) to Disney in Feb - that combination of over-exposure made me decide that we all got the flu shot this year. DS was fine, no reaction. DD & I both had a fever, chills, generally miserable for 2 days (I got it Friday and still feel lousy). So, we're an 'other' - case by case. I'll still probably end up with pneumonia after we fly. Sigh.
